The code is worth minimum 7 figures and probably more. Some of the things I saw in the HL2 demo I've never seen anywhere else... millions easy... tens possibly.

Millions easy? I'm not so sure about that... But wat you say about being revolutionary, I second that wholeheartedly. That (indeed, Xen it lasted for like 30 minutes) movie I saw was full of material that made my jaw drop. And when I finally closed my mouth again, it just dropped open again just because I thought about what I saw [img]smile.gif[/img]

think about it this way... a team of programmers has been working on that code for years... there's bound to be lots of tips and tricks that has helped differentiate HL from the other engines out there. I think just looking at the potential advantage it could give a software house trying to break into the 3d FPS market... millions easy.

What I gotta ask is WHY THE HELL did they have the source code open to a network that is connected to the internet?!?! Same goes for the DOD and FBI. Why the hell do they do this?! Crazy... Smells like an internal job to me. Hope they get the FBI On this, and catch the perp. Hell, it could be another company that stole it... hmmm.

Maybe it is an insider's job... but certainly not one of the key personnels. For the time and effort Valve put into this new engine, they could have made the source code a wee bit secure than this.
Nevertheless, they have learnt thier lesson and any future attempt would not be so easy anymore.
